While deciding to honor the Shaheed Burhan Muzaffar Wani with “Tamga-i-Azeemat” (Medal of Greatness) for his dedication, sincerity and bravery, Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Geelani said that it is the result of the brave and sincere efforts of Shaheed Burhan Wani that the entire Jammu & Kashmir from Ladakh to Kishtiwar, Doda and from Ramban Banihal to Uri Baramullah is today on the roads demanding the right to self determination from India and his Martyrdom has added a new life to the ongoing freedom struggle of Jammu & Kashmir. He has united and strengthened the pro-freedom voice of this troubled state and the entire nation is feeling pride in paying tributes to this Great Mujahid.While paying rich tributes to the parents of Shaheed Burhan Muzaffar Wani, Syed Ali Geelani said that they are the proud parents of a brave son.
In a statement issued to KNS, Syed Ali Geelani thanked the Turkish Government for supporting and recommending the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) fact-finding team to Jammu & Kashmir and hoped that the other Muslim countries too will raise their voice in support of the demand for right to self determination of the subjugated people of Kashmir. It is not only human and moral duty of theirs but it is the religious obligation of all the Muslim and Islamic countries of the world to stand and support their oppressed brethren of Jammu Kashmir.While commenting over the statement of UNO Chief’s Office that “UNO is continuously monitoring the situations in Jammu & Kashmir”, the Hurriyat Chairperson said that this world body has so far failed in implementation of its own resolutions in the disputed region of Kashmir. He questioned that why is UNO unmoved over the bloody streets and the genocide of the people of Indian occupied Kashmir? Why is this world body silently watching the brutal killings of the minor children in disputed Jammu & Kashmir at the hands of the Indian occupational forces? Why are they satisfied on just counting and calculating the innocent killings in Kashmir?
Syed Ali Geelani appealed the UNO including the influential world leaders to come to the rescue of the oppressed and subjugated people of Jammu & Kashmir from the atrocities and brutalities of the Indian cruel forces and impress upon India to cooperate in holding referendum in the troubled state and save the entire South Asia from a distractive war.While expressing his satisfaction over the yesterday’s women’s program, Syed Ali Geelani praised the disciplined and courageous protest program of the daughters and sisters of the nation. Syed Ali Geelani also strongly condemned the use of brutal force of the government forces against the women who were protesting peacefully in their respective localities.Syed Ali Geelani expressed his deep concern over the reports coming from some areas that few people are continuously defying the protest programs of the joint leadership at some locations and the people are not allowed to move even in the relaxation hours. Syed Ali Geelani once again appealed the youths to check such episodes and incidents and don’t allow immoral and anti-Islam actions at any cost and maintain strict discipline and dignity of the freedom struggle of Kashmir. He said that these actions damage our sacred freedom movement for which our martyrs have spilled their hot blood.Syed Ali Geelani said that it is impossible to achieve any goal by disobeying and disregarding the teachings of Islam and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
